1. While our clients have enjoyed lots of success with ranking on Google and social media verification we cannot guarantee either of these as they are both out of our control. Therefore we cannot guarantee that you will be verified on social media, and we cannot guarantee that your articles or website will appear on the first page of Google for your name, brand name, or any other search term.

2. We cannot guarantee you leads or sales, and the amount of traffic you receive from our articles will vary.

3. News sites will remove older articles to keep their sites fresh. They usually do this between 3 to 24 months.
